Speeches by Moore.

“It is the report that came out that was dated 11 November 2024. It recounts the troubles at the Amsterdam match. It goes through the course of the Wednesday evening and night and the police action that was taken. Assistant Chief Constable O’Hara This is a report that was commissioned by the mayor of Amsterdam.”

“Correct.”

“Councillor Cotton, I am going ask you the same question that I asked the Policing Minister and the deputy mayor for policing at the last session that we had. You have raised a huge level of concern around the amount of intelligence that was given to the SAG, the advice that was given to the SAG for the decision to be m…”

“Going on to community impact assessment issues, what was your assessment of the advice from the SAG on the level of risks to different communities in Birmingham and to the Maccabi Tel Aviv fans? Can you explain why the level of risk changed over the course of time in some cases?”

“Does it concern you that we have had to bring the chief constable in front of this Committee not once but twice, and to get the chief constable to say that he is going to have to come back to us with even more information to provide clarity on questions that cannot be answered?”

“Why is that so different from the commentary that has been provided in the report from the Dutch?”

“Has that been triggered in relation to these two councillors?”

“Here we are. Nationally, concerns have been raised. Councillor Cotton, have you raised these concerns and triggered this process?”

“What we are all struggling to understand is the lack of continuity between what has been reported by the Dutch authorities and what has then been reiterated to us through the correspondence that you sent us since the last Committee. The Dutch police are clearly saying in their evidence that had been provided on the Wed…”

“Is that documented anywhere for us to be able to see that that was a consideration?”

“Why not?”

“That is a no answer. The point is that it is very unclear to us. The evidence that has been presented by the Dutch authorities is very different from the analogy of events that took place and, dare I say, which side was against one another in the evidence that has been provided by West Midlands police.”

“Did you, as the chief constable, at any point request additional resource to deal with the initial recommendation of allowing a limited number of fans to attend?”

“You are clearly here raising concerns. You have said yourself in this meeting that you have concerns around the views that were expressed. You acknowledged that you have not seen tweets et cetera, but you have expressed views. Mr Brooks has also raised concerns, but yet disciplinary process or action against those two …”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Efford. I thank the hon. Member for Wokingham (Clive Jones) for securing this important debate. It is clear that we have all been affected in one way or another by a person we love, or are fond of, being diagnosed with cancer and passing away. While any debate cover…”

“On what dates did you meet with mosques or Muslim representatives?”

“Before the risk level changed, even though you had going to mutual aid at your disposal, was that something that you had considered?”

“Madam Deputy Speaker, may I wish you, and indeed all Members across the House, a very happy Christmas? Like thousands of my constituents, I have recently been sending Christmas cards. May I use this opportunity to congratulate Leo from Oakworth on creating such an excellent design for my Christmas card this year? I am …”

“The levelling-up agenda is incredibly important for traditionally forgotten-about places like Keighley. That is why, turning back the clock, I was incredibly proud to achieve a drawdown of about £80 million for various levelling-up projects across Keighley, which was delivered through the £33.6 million Keighley towns f…”

“I absolutely welcome the strategy published today, and I share the Minister’s ambitions on early intervention. However, in constituencies such as mine, one of the state’s greatest failures has been the historical failure to openly and honestly confront perverse cultural attitudes behind violence and abuse against women…”
